Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. is Now Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

ABC has announced that their upcoming small screen foray in Marvel’s cinematic universe has a new title. Formerly known as “Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D.,” the new series will now be called “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” The newly-released synopsis for the show reads as follows:

Joss Whedon shows us not all heroes are super with “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”

Fresh from his role in the summers box office smash, Marvel’s The Avengers, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) returns to the worldwide law enforcement organization S.H.I.E.L.D. He puts together a small, highly trained, team of Agents to tackle the cases that havent been classified yet, the new, the strange and the unknown. That team consists of straight arrow Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), an expert in combat and espionage; pilot and martial artist Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen); and brilliant if socially awkward scientists Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge). Theyll be joined by civilian new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).

Prepare for an epic adventure that showcases the hope and wonder of the human spirit. This is a world of Super Heroes, aliens and the unusual  of action, spectacle and world spanning stories. The show will speak to the human condition through the lens of our very human, non-powered S.H.I.E.L.D agents  that together we are greater than we are apart, and that we can make a difference in the world.
